What to do if you get scammed by a Ukraine/Russian woman?

Love is a powerful emotion and sometimes, it will impair one’s judgment. Sadly, a number of Ukrainian or Russian women, or men pretending to be women, are online waiting to take advantage of people seeking out companionship.

If you have been a victim to any Ukrainian/Russian online dating scam, rest assured that you are not alone and this is an increasing problem. You should take a number of precautions to avoid such circumstances and follow a number of steps if you are taken advantage of in the end.

The Ukrainian & Russian Online Dating Scam

A Ukrainian/Russian woman for marriage convinces you she needs money for a better life, to care for her family or to get out of a bad situation. You want to help her and send her money. Then it happens, she claims to have never received the money that it was stolen or you never hear from her again.

The alarm bells are going off and you quickly realize you have been the victim of a scam. The chances of recouping your losses may not be in your favor; however, if you do not report the crime, more people will become victims and those who are guilty of such crimes will never be brought to justice.

I highly recommend you to read my other articles about Ukrainian and Russian dating scam:

The Reporting Process

You must report the crime to a number of agencies. The first stop should be to your local police department. You should report the crime as you would any other theft from your home. You should also report the incident with the FBI’s Internet Fraud Complaint Center, the local embassy of the scammer’s home country in your country, your home country’s embassy in the scammer’s home country and with the money transfer company you used for the scammer to collect the funds.

A growing number of single Ukrainian/Russian women online are not who they claim to be. If you are looking for that special someone or simply companionship, try to only use International online dating sites and agencies which are highly reputable and those that conduct extensive background checks or verify the information of any member. You may have to pay a small monthly fee; however, this is significantly less than it could cost you in the end.

I have experienced scam at paid websites. Now, I am much wiser. I have made a policy. I don’t believe in fake Photoshop photos. Hence, Skype is 100% requirement for Internet-based dating. Guys don’t worry. Skype can translate written text automatically in case lady is unable to speak English (Skype translation is a big help during preliminary introductory phase of knowing her). Additionally, I don’t mind emailing photocopy of my passport. And, in return, I require photocopy of lady’s passport. I am happy to report that I had found many well educated ladies on free websites (for example: Fdating.com). I have contacted about 190 ladies over 90 days without paying any fee, whatsoever. I have also received photocopy of passport from all ladies with whom I have shared photocopy of my passport. In two cases, I have even received photocopy of academic diploma and transcript from ladies. In general, Russian / Ukrainian degrees are not accepted in Western countries. Why to bring a foreign lady lacking academic skills to complete a degree program. It is best to get lady’s diploma evaluated by western universities. Moreover, it is not inappropriate to request CV from ladies. CV would tell employment history, past employers and complete mailing address. I wish I was this wiser before experiencing Internet scam.
